Large volumes of plastic enter the environment every year resulting as persistent mismanaged waste. Plastic pollution is perhaps the most pressing and critical environmental issue facing the planet. It is an environmental, wildlife, climate, human health and social justice issue that impacts everything including the water we drink and much of the foods we consume.

WHAT IS PLASTIC POLLUTION

Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles in the Earth's environment that adversely affects humans, wildlife and their habitat.

Plastic products include every day, single-use items such as bottles, razors, toothbrushes, pill bottles, food wrappings, cups, deli containers, bags, microbeads used in cosmetics and moisture absorber packets known as desiccants. While individual desiccant sachets may be small in size, the cumulative quantity of plastic packaging material is adding up very quickly.

OXO-DEGRADABLE

The chemical structure of most plastics renders them resistant to many natural processes of degradation referred to as oxo-degradable. Oxo-degradable plastic products do not biodegrade. Instead it slowly breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces and eventually into fine toxic microplastics resulting in particles smaller than five millimeters in size. These fragments remain in the environment where it eventually makes its way into the food chain and water sources.

Environmental concern has led to new efforts and innovations in product development concentrated on developing sustainable alternatives in mold and moisture management within packaged goods traveling along supply chains.

Don’t Contribute to the Problem-Be Part of the Sustainable Solution

Proven to Out Perform Synthetic Desiccants

Micro-Pak® Dri Clay® is the most sustainable and effective desiccant on the market, defending your goods from moisture and extending shelf life. Dri Clay® sustainable moisture absorber packets are proven to reduce humidity faster and to lower levels than silica gel and calcium chloride. In addition, the production processes require zero chemical inputs or additives, as well as low energy and low water consumption resulting in a small carbon footprint.

Micro-Pak Dri Clay® desiccant packets are environmentally responsible, non-toxic, can be safely disposed in landfill where clay is returned to the earth in its natural state. Featuring water-based inks and adhesives, Dri Clay® does not release harmful or toxic chemicals into the soil nor does it contaminate water systems.

There is no risk of leakage—unlike other desiccants, the top-grade clay never changes size, shape, or texture, even when at full absorption capacity. The sachet is hard to tear, dust-free, has good breathability and does not contain binders or solvents.

Made with less packaging materials than other common desiccants, Micro-Pak® Dri Clay® is also available in five sizes to fit your packaging, allowing you to eliminate moisture economically.
